Kayjai basically has it. Definately check the tire pressure first... all these darn temperature changes make you have to adjust them regularly. I've been lazy and haven't checked mine in a while.

Of course they are more performance orientated tires so they aren't going to last as long as normal replacements. If those five months have put a lot of miles on them they may be getting worn like normal, especially if you've been having a little "fun" with them. tongue.gif

Believe it or not, the stock tires are actually rated as performance tires. I had those worn down a good bit in 7 months (7000 miles).

ok, i was at 35 at each tire and one tire was at like 37, so i decreased it to 34 front, 33 rear. those numbers sound like they would be good for hard cornering?

for hard cornering you want very hard tires so they wont roll on side wall, like I run 43 in front 38 rear at track but 30 all around regularly for even tread ware
